Application May 8, 1939, Serial No. 272,501

1 Claim. (01. 4 -10) which is adapted to be expeditiously mounted on theusual sun shade of the-vehicle where the card therein, such as a drivingpermit, may be conveniently inspected at all times. Other objects of theinvention are to provide a card holder of the aforementioned characterwhich will be comparatively simple in construction, strong, durable,highly efficient and reliable in use, compact, attractive in appearanceand which may be manufactured at low cost.

All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of theinvention will become apparent from a study of the followingspecification, taken in connection with the accompanying g0 drawingwherein like characters of reference designate corresponding partsthroughout the several views, and wherein:

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a card holder constructed inaccordance with the pres- 25 ent invention mounted on a sunshade.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view, taken substantially on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

Figure 3 is an elevational view of a portion of I the device, the caseor cover being omitted. 30 Referring now to the drawing in detail, itwill be seen that the embodiment of the invention which has beenillustrated comprises an open front case of any suitable material whichis designated generally by the reference numeral I. 35 Mounted in thecase I are fiber board laminations 2 which are adhesively securedtogether. The reference numeral 3 designates an operator's card mountedin the case I in front of the laminations 2 and behind a transparentsheet 4 in the 40 open front of said case. A bendable-closure I isprovided at one end of the case I' to facilitate the insertion andremoval of operator's cards, registration cards, etc.

The case I is adapted to be detachably secured in position on aconventional sun shade 6 through the medium of bendable sheet metalfingers l which project from the upper and lower edges of said case.,The fingers 'I extend through the case I and terminate, at their innerends, in T heads I which are anchored between the laminations 2.

In Fig. 1 of the drawing, the reference numeral S designates the usualsupporting rod on which the sun shade i is adjustably mounted. 10

It is'thought that the manner in which the holder functions will bereadily apparent from a consideration of the foregoing. Of .course, the

case I with the operator's or other cards therein is positioned on thesun shade 6 and the attach- 15 ing fingers I are bent over the upper andlower edges of said sun shade. Thus by simply swinging the sun shade 6to proper position the card in the holder may be conveniently exhibitedat all times. It will be observed that the bendable retaining fingers Ipermit ready removal of the holder when desired.

It is believed that the many advantages of a card holder constructed inaccordance with the present invention will be readily understood andalthough a preferred embodiment of the device is as illustrated anddescribed, it is to be understood that changes in the details ofconstruction may be resorted to which will fall within the scope of theinvention as claimed. 7

What is claimed is: A card holder of the character described comprisinga case for the reception of a card, laminations mounted in said case andadhesively secured together, and bendable sheet metal fingers mounted onthe case and projecting therefrom for engagement with a support formounting said case thereon, said fingers comprising substantially Tshaped inner end portions anchored between the laminations. 4
